Back in downtown Portland reporting in front of the Courthouse/Justice Center. It’s Tuesday, July 28th. #blacklivesmatter #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #wallofmoms #MomsAreHere #Portlanddads
Two months in and there are finally bathrooms here. #blacklivesmatter #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #wallofmoms #MomsAreHere #Portlanddads
A few of the signs and banners out tonight. #blacklivesmatter #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #wallofmoms #MomsAreHere #Portlanddads
The Feds try to make an announcement, they’re abruptly drowned out by the crowd. The gist is about not messing with the fence or being subject to arrest and crowd control munitions. #blacklivesmatter #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong
There are a few guys standing up very high on the courthouse. Many laser are attracted to the very same place. #blacklivesmatter #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #wallofmoms #MomsAreHere #Portlanddads
Really chill so far. Chants directed towards the courthouse, a fire in the fire pit, and Feds pacing up high on the courthouse. #blacklivesmatter #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #wallofmoms #MomsAreHere #Portlanddads
Oh boy, small fire in the courtyard. That means hundreds of people will need to get teargassed. #blacklivesmatter #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #wallofmoms #MomsAreHere #Portlanddads
Still Feds on the roof, they decide to shine a spotlight on a large group of press filming them. #blacklivesmatter #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #wallofmoms #MomsAreHere #Portlanddads
Someone just threw this over the fence. 10/10 on the landing. #blacklivesmatter #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #wallofmoms #MomsAreHere #Portlanddads
Just gonna put this here. https://t.co/Mbf0iL5d8V
Feds just shot a barrage of pepper bullets at the crowd. #blacklivesmatter #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #wallofmoms #MomsAreHere #Portlanddads
The Federal Protective Service has declared this an unlawful assembly. Also calling for “all peaceful protesters to head west and north.” #blacklivesmatter #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #wallofmoms

A lot of DHS all over the place around Main, Salmon, 4th, and 3rd. #blacklivesmatter #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #wallofmoms #MomsAreHere #Portlanddads

Feds firing westward towards a small crowd. #blacklivesmatter #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #wallofmoms #MomsAreHere #Portlanddads
Feds push west. One interesting thing a commanding officer says is “if you can’t get them, don’t waste your munition.” #blacklivesmatter #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #wallofmoms #MomsAreHere #Portlanddads
The officers pull back a few feet and throw some teargas and smoke. #blacklivesmatter #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #wallofmoms #MomsAreHere #Portlanddads
A firework lands next to some press and the Feds decide to advance west towards the crowd. #blacklivesmatter #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #wallofmoms #MomsAreHere #Portlanddads
As the Feds advance west they shoot a massive amount of impact munitions. #blacklivesmatter #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #wallofmoms #MomsAreHere #Portlanddads
Teargas on 5th and Salmon in Portland. Two blocks from federal property. #blacklivesmatter #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #wallofmoms #MomsAreHere #Portlanddads

Some weird new smoke (maybe gas??) that makes the canister glow red and emit black smoke(or gas?). #blacklivesmatter #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #wallofmoms #MomsAreHere #Portlanddads
A lot of smoke and gas in the streets and park. The Feds head inside the courtyard. #blacklivesmatter #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #wallofmoms #MomsAreHere #Portlanddads
Close up of the glowing canister. #blacklivesmatter #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #wallofmoms #MomsAreHere #Portlanddads
Someone tosses a teargas canister back over the fence then gets repeatedly shot at. Their shield holds up. #blacklivesmatter #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #wallofmoms #MomsAreHere #Portlanddads
This was a fun way to end the night, one of us got given a letter from a boogaloo boy... Elaine and myself read it outloud.
